Paulding County Georgia Master Gardener Extension Volunteers were sad to learn of the passing of Master Gardener Extension Volunteer Phil Williams over the weekend. Our Paulding Community lost a fine gentleman, whose generosity was felt in every corner of Paulding and into surrounding counties. Phil was always smiling and always helping. He joined our group in 2014 and was active since then, helping with many odds and ends in programming and bringing his vast network of friends and organizations with him. We are thinking of all who knew and loved Phil. https://www.alvismillerfuneralhome.com/obituaries/phil-williams
